CHILDREN OF THE APACHES.
Barbaric Education of the Girls-Train-
ing Them to be Cruel.

A prominent feature of any Apache vii
lage are the children. who are unkept lit
tie savages. but are much handsomer in
childhood than in mature life. The care
of the male children devolves upon the
man. who carefully educates them toem-
uaton and practice in deeds of blood, in
Guiding the art of scientific torturing. SO
well are these lessons taught that the
Apache boy, at an early age. is ambitious
and fitted to go on the warpath. Some
of the most daring deeds in Apache war
fare have been performed by boys who
were emulous to earn their title to man.
hood.
The girl is taught the rude domestic
arts and lessons of labor. but her educa-
ton in barbarity is not a whit less thor
ough than that of the boy The fate of
the captive among the Apaches has al
ways been most lamentable. but the great
est cruelty both to men and women have
been perpctrated by the Apache females.
A captive woman, made compulsorily the
wife or slave of an Apache warrior. is
usually. after the first crueltieS of the at
tending capture. treated by him as well
as other women in the tribe. but, in his
absence. the captive viii he often grew
ously beaten by the other wives.
The education of the Apache girl be-
gins with her care of the younger chill
dren. She learns to carry water and to
go forth to hunt roots. wild fruits and
berries. worms and reptiles, and what
ever else goes to make up the Apache
cuisine. She is taught to prepare for
eating the game or domestic animals
used for food brought in by the warriors
from their excursions. Much of this
animal food being common property. she
learns to make a vigorous fight to secure
for her own household the cntrails. which
are the greatest luxury to the Apache.
She subsists largely upon such odds and
ends as she can get by stealth or after
others have been satisfied, as the special
household care is the providing for the
wants of the warriors and boys. Under
such an education she grows up strong,
tough and fleet footed. accustomed to
every effort of endurance, privation and
hardship of Indian life.-Sunshine.

How does it happen that world wide ira

To overstudy is attributed many all
ments of children, which are probably
due to the carelessness or the indulgence
of parents; in fact, the physical training
is frequently as grossly neglected as the
mental training is excessively stimulated.
What we want in this age of rush and
excitement is to insist that children shall
eat simple food, take plenty of exercise
and sleep and not be forced to use their
minds actively until they reach the age
of 8 or 10 years. If such a system were
followed in California it would result in
a race of superb physique, with mental
strength and alertness that would keep
pace with the physical powers. As it is,
bad food, late hours, insufficient exercise
and oversufficient study neutralize all the
good results of climate that is without
an equal in the world for physical or
mental work. San Francisco Chronicle

A gentleman of an investigating turn
of mind has taken the trouble to ascer-
tain accurately how many days the chill
dren of Mexico lost from school during
1886. Here is the result: Fifty-two Sun,
days, twenty Saturdays four national
feast days, forty-fve days of vacation
and fifty Catholic holidays, making a
total of III days, and having only 1873
school days. When we take into con-
sideration the fact that the most punctual
child does not take advantage of every
school day we arrive at the conclusion
that the children of this city do not at
tend school half of their time.-Two Re

ANOTHER SEPARATOR EXPERT
ENCE

Another correspondent sends the fol-
lowing, clipped from the Mirror and Farm
| err:
"Mr. l.. L. Hazen, proprietor of the
Island View Farm, Iazen's Mills. this
State, has recently given the separator a
very thorough test. Mr.. Hazen's cream
cry uses the product of some 300 Jersey
cows, and his butter ranks with the best
in New England, selling as high as 60
cents per pound. Mr.. Hazen is president
of the New England Dairyman's associa-
ton. and is well known as an energetic,
progressive, wide-awake, successful farm
er and business man. What he indorses
cannot fail to be looked upon with favor
by fellow dairymen and others. The
Mirror has for its object in considering
this topic the promotion of the dairy in
terest; it favOrs no particular method, as
some agricultural papers do to ridicu-
lous extent, but is alert to the latest and
best improvements in milk setting, cream
manipulation, etc, putting before its
readers from week to week the views and
experiences of practical and progressive
men. AS has been said, Mr.. Hazen has
completed a fourteen days test of the
separator, using the separator every other
day and the deep cold setting the rest of
the time. Mr.. Hazen reports to the
Mirror the result. He says that he found
the separator butter fully as good as that
from the deep cold setting. Twice during
the test he had cream by each method
churned on the same day, in order that
perfectly fair comparisons might be made.
After the butter of each was worked and
ready to print, Mr.. lIazen, not knowing
which was which. selected the separator
butter as being the finest favored the
grain, etc, being rs good as the other.
The figures which Mr. IIaZen submits to
the Mirror are as follows; 1892 lbs. of
milk made by the separator process 1921
lbs. of butter, requiring Il ll-l09 lbs. of
milk for one of butter; 800 lbs. of milk
made by the cold deep setting 295 - lbs.
milk for one of butter, giving the separa-
tor an advantage of 10 Clio per cent. 1t
will be seen by the above figures that
the separator process had IL pounds
more milk than the other and made 81
IA pounds more butter. Taking these
figures as basis, Mr.. Hazen says that by
the separator he would have obtained last
year 1904 lbs more butter than he did by
the deep cold setting method. Thus il
will be seen what prodigious pecuniary
advantage would have come to Mr., Hazer
if he had used the separator in 1886
These figures cannot fail to have weight
coming as they do from one who occupies
as prominent a position in the dairy as
does Mr. Hazen. What our butter max
ers want to know, and know clearly, is
what methods will give them the best re-
suits, and it is by such tests as Mr.. Hazel
makes that they are enabled to get at tn
true inwardness of different processes
The farmers who have the means and dis
position to make exhaustive experiment.
along the different lines of work are com
paratively few, and such men as Mr.
Hazen confer great and inestimabl
boon when they indulge in them ant
then publish the facts to the world"

LETTER FROM MR.. A. D. EvARTs.

VERGENNEs, March 3, 1887.
Editor Register AS the agent of the
Cooley creams gathering system has been
largely advertising in your columns, and
telling what glorious victories have been
won in the prize ring, the following
from patron of one of their pet cream
eries is of interest as showing how these
prizes really are won, and shows to what
straits they are driven to retain their
fast-declinng fortunes.
Yours truly,

the largest prize, think, ever offered
for butter. Our creamery is operated in
such a way as to give us an opportunity
of Judging of the merits of the two sys-
tens now in use. About one-half of our
daily production of butter is made from
cream raised in Cooley cans and gathered

gather the whole milk and separate the
cream by the De Laval separator. Both
ways have their advantages. If you are
where you can dispose of the skim milk
to advantage, | should recommend the
separator every time, as we are satisfied
that the butter is of superior quality.
1t not only separates the cream, but it
also collects all those particles which un-
avodably find their way into the milk,
and which in the Cooley can settle at the
bottom. and more or less of them are
drawn off with the cream. 1t was the
separator butter that secured for us the
first prize at Boston and also at the Wor-
cester county agricultural exhibition. We
always use it when competing for "A pre-
MUM. In taking the whole milk at the
factory, it gives us a great amount of
skim milk, which, without a.good market,
. is a great hndrance to the success of a
creamery. But to the farmer who is in
terested in the quality of his milk, and
considers the skim milk as having a value,
it is much for his interest as we'll as to
the advantage of the creamery, | might
say almost necessary to its success, to
